speckit.git.initialize

A setup command that creates a Git repository—a project’s version history—and makes its first commit.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when beginning work on a project that is not yet under Git version control.
Why use it?
It removes the manual steps needed to start tracking a project with Git. It also skips setup when Git is unavailable or the project is already in a repository.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

speckit.git.initialize scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

What it actually says

Initialize Git Repository

Initialize a Git repository in the current project directory if one does not already exist.

Execution

Run the appropriate script from the project root:

  • Bash: .specify/extensions/git/scripts/bash/initialize-repo.sh
  • PowerShell: .specify/extensions/git/scripts/powershell/initialize-repo.ps1

If the extension scripts are not found, fall back to:

  • Bash: git init && git add . && git commit -m "Initial commit from Specify template"
  • PowerShell: git init; git add .; git commit -m "Initial commit from Specify template"

The script handles all checks internally:

  • Skips if Git is not available
  • Skips if already inside a Git repository
  • Runs git init, git add ., and git commit with an initial commit message

Customization

Replace the script to add project-specific Git initialization steps:

  • Custom .gitignore templates
  • Default branch naming (git config init.defaultBranch)
  • Git LFS setup
  • Git hooks installation
  • Commit signing configuration
  • Git Flow initialization

Output

On success:

  • ✓ Git repository initialized

Graceful Degradation

If Git is not installed:

  • Warn the user
  • Skip repository initialization
  • The project continues to function without Git (specs can still be created under specs/)

If Git is installed but git init, git add ., or git commit fails:

  • Surface the error to the user
  • Stop this command rather than continuing with a partially initialized repository
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

You are a wave execution orchestrator. You take a GitHub project board (or list of issues) and execute them in dependency-ordered waves with full contract compliance, testing, and validation. You coordinate all other Specflow agents through an 8-phase workflow.

You are a self-healing fix agent for contract violations. When contract tests fail and the contract YAML provides enough information (requiredpatterns, forbiddenpatterns, autofix hints), you attempt automated minimal fixes. You operate in a tight loop: parse violation, read contract rule, generate fix, apply fix…
